  • Second connectorRJ45
  • Product typeConsumer Electronics
  • Overall length20 ft (6.1 m)
  • Product colorGreen
  • Supports gigabit speeds with Cat 6 rating
  • 20 ft length fits typical desk-to-switch runs

  • Molded strain relief reduces cable fatigue at the connector
  • Green jacket allows quick colour coding in a rack

20 ft Cat 6 patch cable

This 20-foot category 6 patch cable connects network devices with RJ45 connectors on both ends. The green cable meets Cat 6 cabling standards and supports data, voice and video distribution. It is designed for use in Cat 6, Cat 5e and Cat 5 applications.

Snagless boot and staggered-pin plug

A molded snagless boot prevents the locking tabs from catching during installation or removal. The staggered-pin plug design keeps near-end crosstalk to a minimum. High-quality copper wire reduces impedance and structural return loss compared to standard 100 MHz wire.

550 MHz bandwidth limit

The cable delivers stable performance up to 550 MHz. It is UL verified and meets EIA/TIA Cat 6 TIA/EIA-568-B-2.1 draft 9 standards. Runs longer than the installed length will exceed the rated frequency and may degrade signal quality.

Questions about this item

Will the RJ45 connectors or the snagless boots need replacing after repeated plugging and unplugging?

The cable uses a staggered-pin plug design and molded snagless boots built to withstand normal insertion cycles; no user-serviceable parts are inside, so the whole cord would be replaced if a connector fails.

What bandwidth ceiling limits sustained throughput on this 20 ft Cat 6 run?

The cable is verified to 550 MHz and meets the TIA/EIA-568-B-2.1 draft 9 standard, so the 550 MHz rating is the first limit encountered under continuous high-speed use.

Does the green Cat 6 jacket or the copper conductors generate noticeable heat when carrying gigabit traffic all day?

Passive copper patch cords operate at negligible temperature rise; the 20 ft length and standard gauge keep resistive heating well below perceptible levels during continuous gigabit loads.
